Write the equation of the parabola with a focus (-1 4) and directrix y = 3

Mathematics

Reil [10]3 years ago

Parabola
4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2
where (h,k) is vertex
P is distance from vertex to focus which is also equalt to distance from vertex to directix

we plot those points and see it opens up (don't cross directix)
P is positive
from 4 to 3 is a distace of 1
1/2=1/2
P=1/2
3+1/2=3.5
the vertex is (-1,3.5)

4(1/2)(y-3.5)=(x+1)^2
2(y-3.5)=(x+1)^2

put in vertex form (solve for y)
divide both sides by 2
y-3.5=(1/2)(x+1)^2
add 3.5
y=(1/2)(x+1)^{2}+3.5

What proves m ∆ADB and ∆ADC are congruent.
AURORKA [14]

Answer: They're the same angles/measurements.

Step-by-step explanation: Look closely at both the angles. If you measure them, they will be the same because both angles look the same, but ΔADC's side is flipped.

Let me know if you have any questions.

1/2 are science because if you make 1/3, 2/6 + 1/6= 3/6. 3/6 = 1/2. 1/2 and 1/2 make a whole.
